GREEK PORK CHOPS WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• Put a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread out on the hot baking sheet and roast, flipping halfway through, until browned and tender, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make 3 shallow cuts in the fat on the side of the pork chops to prevent curling. Rub the pork with 3/4 teaspoon oregano and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a large plate.
• Add the tomatoes, garlic and remaining 1/4 teaspoon oregano to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes soften, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until mostly dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and cook, lightly crushing the tomatoes, until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the olives, sugar and any juices from the plate of pork; season with salt and pepper.
• When the potatoes are done, sprinkle with the feta and let soften for a minute. Sprinkle with the dill and gently toss. Divide the potatoes and pork among plates. Spoon the tomato sauce over the pork and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.

BRIZOLES HIRINES (GREEK PORK CHOPS)

Steps:

• Rinse the meat and pat it dry.
• Core the cleaned apples and cut in 1/2-inch rings.
• Measure out the cider.
• Preheat two frying pans on low heat. Turn the heat up under one of the frying pans to medium-high, and add 4 ounces of butter.
• As soon as the butter stops frothing and starts to turn a pale brown, add the pork chops and brown well on both sides.
• Start the next step while the pork chops are browning. While the pork chops are browning, use the remaining 2 ounces of butter for the apples.
• Add the butter to the second preheated frying pan, and turn the heat up to medium. As soon as the butter stops frothing, sauté the apple rings until golden brown.
• They will brown very quickly. Use a spatula to turn.
• As soon as the pork chops are browned - about 2 1/2 minutes per side - while the apples are still being sautéd, add the cider to the meat and reduce heat to low.
• It is unlikely that all the apple rings will fit in the frying pan at the same time, so divide the butter appropriately. Have a plate ready to hold the cooked apples until all the rings are done.
• Using a spatula, carefully place the apple rings on top of the pork chops. Simmer together for 5 minutes.
• Serve on a platter or individual plates, spooned over with sauce. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon, and serve.
